3 Firmware Configuration

3.1 INTRODUCTION

It is necessary to configure the BVRD microphone prior to use.

This configuration includes setting system specific options such as communication protocols, naming the inputs and outputs, DVA message selection and setting up button allocation.

To access the USB socket on the BVRD Microphone remove the two screws securing the Right Hand side-panel, then carefully remove the side-panel.

Figure 3.1 — BVRD USB Socket for configuration

NOTE: The BVRD Microphone must be powered from a 24V DC supply via the RJ45 connector before configuration is possible.



10

3.2 BVRD USB CONFIG SOFTWARE

Install the “BVRD USB Configuration Software”.

The software includes comprehensive on-line help that explains how to correctly configure the unit to suit the installation.

Figure 3.2 — Typical Page from BVRD USB Configuration Software

NOTE: After the configuration is uploaded to the BVRD microphone the USB lead must be removed. This forces the BVRD microphone to re-calculate the configuration data checksum. Failure to perform this step will cause any connected BVRD2M/M4 routers to immediately display a "Transmission Fault" and after 1 hour to display a "System Fault" which will require manual fault accept and reset on all connected routers.

3.3 LOADING “DEFAULT” VALUES

To load the default configuration settings the following procedure should be used:

1. Remove the RJ45 lead,

2. Turn the keyswitch 45° to Emergency position,

3. Press and hold the “Speak” button,

4. Re-connect the RJ45 lead while holding the “Speak” button,

5. Unit will show a confirmation to load Factory Default settings.



BVRD Series M

Default configuration values will then be loaded into the unit.

The default configuration settings are shown in Table 3.1.

3.4 CLEARING “LATCHED” LINE FAULTS

The BVRD Series Microphones can be configured to “Latch” line faults. If a Line Fault is detected by the system, the microphone can be set to keep displaying the fault even after the fault has been cleared. This is normally used as a Fault Finding Aid.

To clear Latched faults press and hold the “FAULT ACCEPT” button, then press and release the “AUX SELECT” button.Release both buttons and the latched faults should be cleared.

3.5 TEMPORARY “BUZZER MUTE”

To temporarily silence the fault buzzer use the following procedure:

1. Disconnect the RJ45 network cable.

2. Turn the “Emergency Mode” Keyswitch 45°, and press and hold the DVA message “HOME” button.
